Auberlen Happy With Progress Of New BMW M6 at the Roar Before the Rolex 24

BMW Team RLL brought a pair of brand-new BMW M6 GTLMs to the Roar, and have been at or near the top of the GTLM speed charts throughout the three-day event.

“This is a work in progress, but we’ve been getting better every day,” said Bill Auberlen, who shares the No. 25 IHG Rewards Club BMW M6 GTLM with Dirk Werner, Augusto Farfus and Bruno Spengler.

“This was (BMW Motorsport Director) Jens Marquardt’s idea, and he’s implemented everything we’ve needed to make it a competitive car,” Auberlen said. “They’re working tirelessly to make it as good as can be.”
